Maxwell's Equations And Yang-Mills Equations In Complex Variables : New Perspectives, Sachin Munshi

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

Maxwell's equations, named after James C. Maxwell, are a U(1) gauge theory describing the interactions between electric and magnetic fields. They lie at the heart of classical electromagnetism and electrodynamics. Yang-Mills equations, named after C. N. Yang and Robert Mills, generalize Maxwell's equations and are associated with a non-abelian gauge theory called Yang-Mills theory. Yang-Mills theory unified the electroweak interaction with the strong interaction (QCD), and it is the foundation of the Standard Model in particle physics.

The Duals Of *-Operator Frames For End*A(H), Abdelkrim Bourouihiya, M. Rossafi, H. Labrigui, A. Touri

Mathematics Faculty Articles

Frames play significant role in signal and image processing, which leads to many applications in differents fields. In this paper we define the dual of ∗-operator frames and we show their propreties obtained in Hilbert A-modules and we establish some results.

Tracial Rokhlin Property And Non-Commutative Dimensions, Qingyun Wang

All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)

This dissertation focuses on finite group actions with the tracial Rokhlin property and the structure of the corresponding crossed products. It consists of two major parts. For the first part, we study several different aspects of finite group actions with certain versions of the Rokhlin property. We are able to give an explicit characterization of product-type actions with the tracial Rokhlin property or strict Rokhlin property. We also show that, in good circumstances, the actions with the tracial Rokhlin property are generic.

In the second portion of this dissertation, we introduce the weak tracial Rokhlin property for actions on non-simple …

Formalizing Categorical And Algebraic Constructions In Operator Theory, William Benjamin Grilliette

Department of Mathematics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

In this work, I offer an alternative presentation theory for C*-algebras with applicability to various other normed structures. Specifically, the set of generators is equipped with a nonnegative-valued function which ensures existence of a C*-algebra for the presentation. This modification allows clear definitions of a "relation" for generators of a C*-algebra and utilization of classical algebraic tools, such as Tietze transformations.

Norming Algebras And Automatic Complete Boundedness Of Isomorphisms Of Operator Algebras, David R. Pitts

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

We combine the notion of norming algebra introduced by Pop, Sinclair and Smith with a result of Pisier to show that if A1 and A2 are operator algebras, then any bounded epimorphism of A1 onto A2 is completely bounded provided that A2 contains a norming C*-subalgebra. We use this result to give some insights into Kadison’s Similarity Problem: we show that every faithful bounded homomorphism of a C*-algebra on a Hilbert space has completely bounded inverse, and show that a bounded representation of a C-algebra is similar to a -representation precisely when the image operator algebra -norms itself. We give …

On The Product Of Two Generalized Derivations, Mohamed Barraa, Steen Pedersen

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

Two elements A and B in a ring R determine a generalized derivation delta_A,B on R by setting δ_A,B(X) = AX - XA for any X in R. We characterize when the product δ_C,Dδ_A,B is a generalized derivation in the cases when the ring R is the algebra of all bounded operators on a Banach space epsilon, and when R is a C*-algebra U. We use the se characterizations to compute the commutant of the range of δ_A,B.
